    Strong benching Shawn. 230 for 9 is getting it done man. Good to hear you were able to get out on the lake and get some fishing in this weekend. Sounds like a great time.

    Nice calf blast. Hopefully you worked out those aches from the RV sleeping with that mobility session.

    Great workout Shawn. Man that set of 11 @ 305 looked tough but you did a great job of knocking them out. Great job on the EMOM 310 triples too. That was one tough looking workout.
    If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. Have a miserable day at work and want to break someone's neck but aren't sure who's? Then squat and run hills. - Wendler

    Wow, nice work surviving that onslaught on squats. This is the week that turned me "off" of JC . The MR and heavy EMOMs is just ridiculous. I vote for couch and ice cream.

    Phukking hip pain. It seems like I'm always having to deal with that too. Oh well at least you've learned the ways to deal with it and get yourself in good shape for your next workout.

    Way to destroy those calves and show them who the boss is.
    Thanks Greg, ya aches and pains are nothing new over here lol. Like you with the yoga, there are times that these types of sessions are just plain necessary. Hip survived today…heart almost didn't lol

    Thanks Dave, our queen bed in our trailer is a touch too short so I sleep all faaked up and it does weird things to me. Lowers are completed

    My last log was "Raynerd's road to 40" which I am no longer 40, but 41 and have a completely new focus with the pursuit of getting on the platform and lifting some heavy chit.

    Ok, I am competing for my first time in April 2017 at an RPS meet in Syracuse. I currently weigh 180 and will compete more than likely in the 198 class. My current bests are:
    Squat: 380lbs in sleeves
    Bench: 290lbs (T&G)
    Deads: 515lbs and 495x3

    I will be running Johny Candito's 6 week strength program for at least 3 cycles and probably do a mock meet after this and reassess. I have run JC for 2 cycles in the spring already and had some good success with it. I just came off a diet and some self programming for most of the summer and am ready to get as strong as I possibly can for April.

    JC day 1 will start probably sometime this weekend but will start logging any work beforehand in here

    Giddyup!!
    Oh, shit!

    Get some!

    Standing DB curls 35lbs SS with Bentover DB laterals 25lbs:
    10/10
    10/10
    10/10

    Dun:

    Notes: well no surprise I am sore as hell today, had to hit some mobility stuff to get moving.
    Bench was ok, I am actually happy with hitting my 6 reps at 235, of course I wanted 8 but after my 225x8 set I figured 6 was all I was going to hit. I have one more chance to hit 8 next upper session.
    Inclines were light and easy, worried about failing without a spotter today so didn't push too hard.
    Good workout, day off tomorrow before the worst lower workout of the cycle

    Damn you just gassed out on that 235 set. First few were fast as fuk! The SS should help with your sticking point 3/4 up (where you failed rep 7)

    Oh and those shorts...

    Hahaha we have an ermagurd at work, that made me laugh!
    I gassed pretty good, looks like I lost my bar path backwards which probably didn't help. I actually think the SS has already helped me out some in the lockout so it will stay in the rotation. I am alternating incline press with SS days.

    Nice workout today Shawn. Good job hitting your reps at 235...you were looking good until you ran out of gas.

    Nice job on the accessories too. I'm still admiring your heavy pullups...kicking A$$ there.

    Btw, don't you do your inclines using your rack? Just curious why you were worried about not having a spotter.

    Thanks Greg, think the high rep sets before that tapped out my strength, or at least that's what I am going with
    I was doing my inclines on the outside of the rack, I'm not sure if my incline bench will fit in my rack depth wise but will have to give it a try next time. One way will not work for sure as I would have to reach way to far back to unrack, but maybe the other direction.

    Holy fak. 305 x 11. Damn Shawn. Crushed it man!

    On those EMOM sets, do you start your rest period after last rep?

    Nice benching. 235 x 6 after 225 x 8 is strong man. Pull up numbers are still freaking ridiculous.

    You are going to crush your PLing meet Shawn.

    GL on EMOM lowet. Get through that and it's relatively smooth sailing the rest of the cycle. Except for the heavy loading .

    JC-lower2-week 2

    Morning Weight: 184.3

    Warmup:
    -broomstick GM narrow/wide paused and twists

    -standing external hip rotations
    --BSS BW x 10

    Squats:
    Bar x 6 paused
    135 x 5
    225 x 3
    285 x 1

    Program Sets:
    310 MR 10, only got 8 vid

    Therefore: 8 sets of 3 EMOM of 300lbs:

    300 x 3 vid
    300 x 3
    300 x 3
    300 x 3
    300 x 3
    300 x 3
    300 x 3 vid

    Deadlift accesory: SGDL
    135 x 8

    25 min sauna/cold shower, turned into a family sauna as my 3 boys wandered in

    Dun:

    Notes: boo failed to get 10! You can see in the vid I gave it a go but rep 8 damn near stopped
    Lower back wasn't recovered from the last one which didn't help. Bit of a barking in right knee, but got it done.
    Despite missed reps and downgraded sets, one helluva hard session, I gave it my all today, but it wasn't enough.

    Great workout today Shawn. You might have missed your goal reps on your MR set but it still looks like you kicked butt. Nice job on the 8 reps @ 310 and on all of those triples (EMOM nonetheless) at 300. Following that up with heavy SG deads is just hardcore. It damn sure looks like you gave it your all today. Nicely done.
    If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. Have a miserable day at work and want to break someone's neck but aren't sure who's? Then squat and run hills. - Wendler

    Nice benching. 235 x 6 after 225 x 8 is strong man. Pull up numbers are still freaking ridiculous.

    You are going to crush your PLing meet Shawn.
    Thanks Shane, that was a real nice PR for me to hit. anything with high reps like that feels like a great accomplishment for me…since I am a pussy and don't train reps
    I do the set on EMOM then rack, start the timer and unrack my next set at 60sec. I don't know if I will crush my meet, but hope to get some personal bests!

    Thanks Tim, didn't go as good as the first one but I worked damn hard and will hopefully reap some sweet gains. Yes the rest on the lowet days is riddled with heavy weight PR's now…what could go wrong lol

Nicely done.
    Thanks Greg, there was no lack of effort today that's for sure. Honestly it was my lower back that fatigued on the MR set. I just didn't have the jam to lockout 2 more reps. That's what I get for doing 11 rep as opposed to 10 on Monday I guess lol. I feel like a puddle right now.
